Entry 84
Do you know what is the name for the tips of shoelaces?
Answer: Aglet
If you're wondering where the word "aglet" (or "aiglet) originates, it comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle". This in turn comes from the original Latin word for needle: "acus".
